    If the letter "в" is disposed before a deaf consonant (к, п, с, т, ф, х, ц, ч, ш, щ), it is pronounced as deaf consonant "ф":

    "вкус" - [фкус]
    "вперёд" - [фпирьот]
    "вставить" - [фставит']

    If the letter "в" is disposed before a ringing consonant (б, в, г, д, ж, з, й, л, м, н, р), it is pronounced as ringing consonant "в":

    "вбил" - [вбил]
    "влечение" - [вличение]
    "враг" - [враг]
